Excerpt from Masonic Biography and Dictionary: Comprising the History of Ancient Masonry, Antiquity of Masonry, Written and Unwritten Law, Derivation and Definition of Masonic Terms, Biographies of Eminent Masons, Statistics, List of All Lodges in the United States, EtcThe advantages of a comprehensive Masonic Cyclope dia must be so apparent to every member of the craft, that there is no necessity to speculate upon the merits of such a work. The design in the execution of the present volume has been to compile facts, free from useless verbiage, so as to meet the want of a work for ready reference. This has been the result of much labor and expense, and we tender it to the craft, with the full assurance of many intelligent brethren of the United States and Europe, that this want has been supplied in this volume. Everything that has any connection with, or has been in any manner the Offspring of Freemasonry, or systemed after it, with or Without merit, political, civil, religious, or charitable, has been introduced, together with full and complete lists of all Lodges in the United States. It is sincerely hoped that the work Will prove an honor to the fraternity, and lead to a correct un derstanding of the truths of Freemasonry, as exhibited by an enlightened Christian system of strict morality, reli gion, and charity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
